London – South Bank – Queen’s Walk (promenade located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, England, between Lambeth Bridge and Tower Bridge)

The South Bank is regarded by many to be the unofficial home of British street skateboarding.

The external walkway of the Queen Elizabeth Hall takes up a lot of space on Queen’s Walk and has a deadening effect on Queen’s Walk below. However, the sheltered section beneath the foyer building has provided the skateboarding community with ideal banks and stairs since the 1970s, and is conveniently located near other skatespots such as the Hayward Gallery. More recently, a skateboarding related art company, The Side Effects of Urethane, has provided South Bank with several skatable sculptures in their ‘Moving Units’ project.
